A new World Map of #SocialNetworks has been on the news lately, showing the most popular social networking sites by country. Data have been provided by Alexa traffic data and the preparation is done by Vincos.

Facebook still remains the dominant #socialnetwork in 127 out of 137 countries analyzed. Some special details: #Facebook lost Kyrgyzstan, but stole Syria from Maktoob. Facebook maintains:

1,189 billion monthly active users,

351 million users in Asia, 276 million in Europe, 199 million in US & Canada, 362 million in remaining countries (according to Q3 2013 Earnings).

A small detail: it is growing less rapidly than before (adding just 34 million active users in 6 months).

In Russian territories #VKontakte and #Odnoklassniki are still struggling to dominate the market.

In China #QZone still dominates the Asian landscape with 623 million users, but its growth is slowed by Instant Messaging apps like #QQ International (815,6 million monthly active users) and Weixin aka WeChat (271,9 million monthly active users), both owned by Tencent.
